Breakfast is just 2 rolls and a couple of cheese triangles. Wifi worked. Had TV with BBC news. Lift often didnt work. Bed bugs in the bed though. Friendly... More

I stayed here for 6 months. Abdou the owner, and all the staff, treated me with great care and respect. They are extremely friendly, helpful, and supportive people. The Hotel is situated right in the center of downtown and it was very easy to walk or catch a taxi to anywhere. Many nights we shared dinner take in from the... More

Stayed in Ramses II for 3 nights. Well, before getting in here, I've checked about 4 others hostels in the same street. The funny thing that all of them had the same price per double (about 120 EGP). But were completely different. The main thing for me is a private bathroom a bit better than a hole in the floor.... More

The Ramses II has an excellent downtown location, and because it's on the 12th floor, it was very quiet. The staff is helpful, our room was clean, there was no problem with hot water, and the internet use was fast and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place as a centrally located budget hotel.

Staff is very friendly and yes they are a little pushy with selling tours, but it's real the best you could do. Tour guide Hebba is fantastic. New A/C bus. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Booked this place after looking at the reviews on TripAdvisor. Was I disappointed ;-( Upon checking in, one staff came to introduce himself telling us there will be welcome drinks for us, but actually his intent was on selling tours. As we wanted to go free and easy, we declined his offer politely. He was visibily unhappy we were not... More
